  • The Ars article seems to suggest that they were able to crack his phones pretty easily

    Android uses data at rest encryption, which isn’t really useful without a lockscreen PIN/password since data gets decrypted after you unlock your screen the first time after each boot

    Although it doesn’t appear he was actually using any encryption apps to store material; rather, he used a fake calculator app as password protection. Obviously not the brightest bulb in the drawer.

    Agreed, he probably felt safe enough “hiding” the files. Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, which is great because fuck this guy





  • Reddit has more content. And arguably, more content that is actually important

    That much is obvious, but Reddit also has so many reposts it’s not even funny

    Also there’s a lot of trash on Reddit too

    Comparing it percentage wise would be a fairer comparison, and imo the average post quality on Lemmy is so much higher than on Reddit. Wich would mean if you start bringing over Reddits content, you would automatically lower Lemmys average post quality








  • Mate thx for the wall post, I did learn a lot.

    You are in fact an expert even if there’s people you look up to. Keep sharing and keep being awesome.

    Oh wow, I really didn’t expect such a kind response. I appreciate it, a lot actually. Now I know it was 100% worth it to write this 30 minute essay :D

    Glad to help you mate and thank you

    I don’t wanna say you’re right/wrong with this. Although I definitely agree that it’s always a matter of perspective

    I heard about generating unique IDs from harvesting PC data since the days that Adobe flash version were pretty telling, but no idea browsers today leaked so much semi identifying info.

    Yeah, it’s honestly scary. These huge tracking companies can easily tell who you are, where you live, with whom and also deeply analyze your psyche and psychological state. That’s why I went so deep into the privacy rabbit hole

    It’s also really scary that most people are okay with this
